A Review: THE SKEPTICS #1

The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of THE
SKEPTICS #1 from Black Mask Studios. The story is by Tini Howard, with art by Devaki
Neogi, colors by Jen Hickman, and letters by Aditya Bidikar.

It’s the 1960s and the height of the Cold War. The United
States is quickly assembling a group of psychic powered people based on the
claims that the Russian government is doing the same. Enter Dr. Santaclara with
young Maxwell and Mary to be tested for their special abilities. However there
is a problem: one of these groups is not telling the truth…

We have been singing the praises of Black Mask Studios for a while now. Do
yourself a favor and pick up this book and you’ll see why. Tini Howard delivers
a smart and fun script, aided by the unique style of Devaki Neogi. The book
definitely invokes the hipness and paranoia of the 1960s. A lot of questions
were raised in this issue that I want answered. I recommend that you come along
for the ride.
